Incredible Wolves lead Braga away 1-3. There's just no stopping them.
Xhaka starts for Arsenal, and Emery could do with a win, in fact he'd probably murder for one right now.
Celtic, up against Rennes, are through but by winning their group they'd avoid any Champions League fall-out debris in the first knockout round of Europa.
Rangers trail at Feyenoord in the 2nd half and as it stands they're 2nd on 7 points with Feyenoord in 3rd also on 7 points. Rangers have a +1 GD. Wait, there's Rangers just equalized on '52 through Morelos. Now it's Rangers 8 points, Feyenoord 5.

Group G is wide open as Young Boys capitulate v Porto. Rangers' draw at Feyenoord leaves all four teams room for qualification.
Wolves go through from Group K after their 3-3 draw with Braga who staged a surprise 2nd half comeback. Wolves could progress as group winners if they see off Besiktas and Braga f*** up away to Bratislava in a fortnight.

For Fans, by Fans, Against the Club. An excellent article from The New York Times about the sh*t show that is Arsenal TV. www.nytimes.com/2019/11/28/sports/arsenal-fan-tv.htmlSomehow I get the feeling that if and when Arsenal become a major force again this c***ingly bad channel will go to sh*t. It is dependent on the club's ongoing failure. Or maybe they'll still be moaning and whinging that Arsenal only won the 2021 Champions League Final by the one goal. |

It's half time at a half-empty Emirates Stadium and it's 1-0, Abermayango just before the break. In Scotland Celtic are on their way to winning the group with a two-nothing advantage.
PSV need to pull out their fingers. 0-3 down at Sporting.

Arsenal haven't shown us much at all. Some fans began leaving before the '80 mark. Pepe and Lacazette are still on the bench looking on sullenly at this sorry affair. Could they not have put more of a show on for those Arsenal fans who could be bothered to attend? So many empty seats at kick-off, although the 80 or 100 'banned' Frankfurt fans are heartily enjoying themselves knowing that they'll go 2nd above Leige if it stays like this. Arsenal are standing still here.

The day's Europa action is over. Celtic win their group and can rest easy that they will not face Champions League dropouts like Valencia when they go out, Wolves are through, it's anybody's guess about Rangers, and Man U and Arsenal both lost, the latter fairly shambolically, it has to be said. That's 7 games without a win for Emery and the boos from what's left of the home crowd/modest gathering serve as a telling punchline to a most sorry story in North London.

Jesus wept. What a shambles the Gooners are! No joking, LaFong. As the 2nd half Arsenal performance stumbled on it was one of my favourite literary lines which (again) came to mind. I have used it before and I will use it again. When Tom Sawyer cannot answer the simplest of biblical questions in Sunday School - naming the first two disciples - the boy eventually blurts out "David and Goliah! [sic]" to much classroom hilarity. The author at this point interrupts proceedings with the line : Why should I feel sorry for Arsenal? But even I felt that some kind of intervention, like floodlight failure, would put an end to the spectacle of seeing a group of players so lost at sea with no compass and a manager who is walking the plank blindfolded with about a yard of footing to go.

I think I’d be struggling with that question too! James and Andrew? Anyway, good description of Arsenal’s plight!

Aye, but this was in 1840s bible-belt country and Sunday School lessons were meant to be absorbed for future tests. But you were half-right. Peter and Andrew. Not bad. Carl LaFongps Emery 1/4 for next to go. |

Kieran Tierney looks like the "WTF am I doing here" lost soul in Emry's "side". He must look at Andy Robertson bombing up and down Liverpool's left, with some envy, while he can't get a decent pass to do something similar. Confused.com best describes his scenario.
